DFFB Antibody : FITC (OAPB00060-FITC)

The immunogen for anti-DFF40 antibody: antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acids near the center of murine CAD. The sequence differs from human DFF40 by two amino acids (3,4) .

All conjugated antibodies should be stored in light-protected vials or covered with a light protecting material (i.e. aluminum foil) . Conjugated antibodies are stable for at least 12 months at 4C. If longer storage is desired (24 months), conjugates may be diluted with up to 50% glycerol and stored at -20C to -80C. Freezing and thawing conjugated antibodies will compromise enzyme activity as well as antibody binding.

DFF40 antibody can be used for detection of DFF40 by Western blot at 1:500 to 1:1000 dilution. A 40 kDa band can be detected. (Optimal dilution should be determined by user)
